Helsinki Design Week (HDW) is one of the largest design festivals in the Nordic countries organized 8-17 September 2023. It’s a tradition to kick off HDW festival with Design Market, the stock sale event at the Cable Factory. For more than twenty years, designers and companies have made space for new items by discharging their stocks at “Kaapeli”. Over the years Design Market has grown into a “festival inside a festival” as tens of thousands of citizens interested in interior and top design have found their way to the Ruoholahti district during one weekend. FWBC joins this Design Market 9-10 September. |
FWBC is a Sendai-based nonprofit organization in Japan promoting businesses between Finland and Japan. It is our pleasure to join Design Market with our supported companies of five. For more information, please check the details bellow.
